FAQs
What types of air-conditioning systems do you install in Guild?
We supply and install the full spectrum of residential and light-commercial cooling systems, including high-efficiency split systems, ducted (central) air conditioning, multi-split/VRF setups, heat-pump air conditioners, and compact ductless mini-splits for room-by-room control. During your free site survey we assess your building size, insulation, existing ductwork and budget to recommend the model that delivers optimum comfort, energy savings and long-term reliability in Guild’s climate.
How do I determine the correct size (capacity) air conditioner for my property?
Choosing the right cooling capacity is crucial. We calculate it using a Manual J load analysis that factors in square footage, ceiling height, window orientation, insulation levels, occupancy, local heat-gain figures and desired indoor temperature. Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy, while undersized systems run continuously and struggle to cool. Our engineers provide a detailed load report and recommend appropriately sized equipment to ensure even, efficient cooling without excessive energy costs.
How often should my air conditioner be serviced, and what does maintenance include?
For most homes in Guild, we recommend professional maintenance once a year—ideally in early spring before the heavy-use season. A standard tune-up includes cleaning or replacing filters, inspecting refrigerant levels, testing electrical components, flushing the condensate drain, checking thermostat calibration, cleaning the outdoor coil and verifying overall system performance. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, maintains manufacturer warranty coverage, and can improve efficiency by up to 20 %.
What are common signs my AC needs repair or replacement?
Warning indications include weak airflow, uneven room temperatures, unusual noises, foul or musty odours, frequent on-off cycling, rising energy bills, water leaks around the indoor unit, and ice buildup on the evaporator coil. If your system is over 12–15 years old, requires R-22 refrigerant, or faces a major component failure (compressor, coil) that costs more than 40 % of a new unit, we typically recommend replacement for better efficiency and lower lifetime costs.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency air-conditioning repair in Guild?
Yes. Our on-call technicians are available day and night, including weekends and bank holidays, to handle sudden breakdowns during heat waves. We carry common OEM parts on our service vans and aim for a two-hour response time within the Guild area. Call our emergency hotline, and a certified engineer will diagnose the issue, give you an upfront repair quote, and restore cooling as quickly as possible.
What steps can I take to improve energy efficiency and reduce cooling bills?
In addition to annual servicing, you can: (1) replace or clean air filters every 1–3 months, (2) seal and insulate ductwork, (3) install a programmable or smart thermostat and set higher temperatures when away, (4) shade south- and west-facing windows, (5) keep outdoor condenser coils clear of debris, (6) use ceiling fans to enhance air circulation, and (7) consider upgrading to an ENERGY STAR-rated heat-pump or variable-speed inverter system. These measures can cut cooling costs by 15–40 %.
